Meara, if you have a landline (or rather non-cell line), the cables connecting the phone to the wall (or VOIP modem) can make all the difference in the world. If you have FLAT cable (which is very common for connecting phones), they will be a big radio antennae! Especially if you have the phone a long way from the jack. I suggest getting ROUND cable, as the wires inside are typically twisted, which gives a shielding to the wires, and greatly reducing the interference into your phone.
Can't help with the alarm clock interference.
But that's just it, omnis--it went away! Out of nowhere! It's perfectly fine now! Which is bizarre. But awesome.
Less awesome--I completely forgot that we had to reschedule the house cleaners to today (we have someone come once a month), and while that's not a problem in that I'm home, it IS a problem in that I have zero cash on me, and usually try to tip $20. (The actual price is charged to my credit card monthly) Is writing a check weird? It's two people--do I write two $10 checks??
Enjoy the new iPad omnis!
I have one more day in FL and I'm really looking forward to getting home. I have a flight first thing on Wednesday morning. This has been a two week trip and it's been very good getting the new show up and running, but I'm just really tired of living in a hotel room.
I think I'd write two $10 checks in that case, meara. I've done a frantic run to the ATM more than once when I didn't have cash on me on Cleaning Day. I'm glad there's one nearby!
omnis, congrats on winning the iPad!
Two checks seems best in the circumstances.
I have cleaned up all of Kittenish's things. The two stuffed kitties that she stole from me are on a shelf. And the vet called to ask what I wanted for her. Cremation with her ashes returned to me.
And I guess we'll learn if being a solitary cat is good for Puppycat.
My dad is at oncology appointments all day. I don't know how he is either.
So today sucks. I am just so sad.
Sounds like a perfect time to flop on the floor and have a good cry for about five to ten minutes before you have to go be a grown-up again.
I wish I could share my cardboard box fort.
I'd like a fort. They sound comforting.

I keep doing that thing where you lean against a wall but end up sliding down to the floor while crying. Four weeks ago, I thought that was fictional and just looked like how you'd expect sad to look in a movie. Apparently not.
I do have a friend coming over in an hour and a half. And I've only got to take the unused syringes to donate at the vet left to do. I don't think I left anything that I want back at the boarding facility. Apart from Kittenish. I want her back more than anything. At least in a few days, I will have what is left of her with me.
